Off Kilter

Even though everything is so beautiful and colourful here in Oceanside, I can't help but feel a little off kilter.

But don't feel too sorry for me. This is what greets me everytime I arrive and leave the Inn.

It is a warm and homey, home away from home.

Plus I can jump from bed to bed and do as many belly flops as I want.

And no one is the wiser.

Except for maybe the elderly couple right below me.

Aaaaand for the first time in a very long time.

I do not have to share a bathroom with four other people.

This is a true highlight.

One I will cherish for many years to come.

I went for a walk today and was amazed at how big the California seagulls were.

It made me wonder about the water quality here, until they flew right over top of me and I realized they were Pelicans.

I've been eating out too.

Quite healthily I might add.

There was a day where the bowl of BlueLily's peanut M&M's got the best of me.

But I have made up for it with good behaviour ever since.

When I went for my walk along the seawall I took lots of pictures.

I tried out some new settings.

And ate a salad on some rocks along the beach

But as beautiful as it was.

It didn't... and doesn't fill the void I am feeling....without these three beauties,
and the guy who they call Dad, by my side.

With my fingers crossed.
I am tracking my UPS package with my birth certificate, and hope that I will be on a plane home soon.

I don't care if it is -31 back home.
I will be plenty warm once I have these goofs back in my arms.

Love ya like a (fingers crossed) happy Custom's Officer,

xoxo
PS if you're curious about the Blue Lily GoPro photography workshop I attended here in Oceanside?
Here is a great post by a wonderful lady named Debbie, who I had a chance to get to know this past weekend. And another post by Meg Duerksen from whatever.

I am so glad they are blogging about our BlueLily experience, while I stay here keeping busy belly flopping from bed to bed.

I am sorry your are still stuck here in CA but at least you are in a beautiful part of the state. My daughter, who lives in Mission Beach said the weather has been good so that is a plus. I hope your stuff arrives promptly so you can get back to your family.Traci
